Hold Me (feat. Samuel J. "Tone" Barnes & Kobe Bryant) [Trackmasters Remix] - Brian McKnight

Say my name, say my name When no one is around you Say baby I love you If you ain't runnin' game Say my name, say my name You actin' kinda shady Ain't callin' me baby Why the sudden change? Say my name, say my name If no one is around you Say baby I love you If you ain't runnin' game Say my name, say my name You actin' kinda shady Ain't callin' me baby Better say my name Any other day I would call, you would say "Baby, how's your day?" But today, it ain't the same Every other word is "uh huh", "yeah, okay" Could it be that you are at the crib with another lady If you took it there First of all let me say I am not the one to sit around and be played So prove yourself to me I'm the girl that you claim Why don't you say the things That you said to me yesterday (I know you say that I am assuming things) Something's going down that's the way it seems (Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange) If nobody's holding you back from me ('Cause I know how you usually do) When you say everything to me times two (Why can't you just tell the truth?) If somebody's there then tell me who Say my name, say my name When no one is around you Say baby I love you If you ain't runnin' game Say my name, say my name You actin' kinda shady Ain't callin' me baby Why the sudden change? Say my name, say my name If no one is around you Say baby I love you If you ain't runnin' game Say my name, say my name You actin' kinda shady Ain't callin' me baby Better say my name What is up with this? Tell the truth, who you with? How would you like it if I came over with my clique? Don't try to change it now, saying you gotta bounce When two seconds ago you said you just got in the house It's hard to believe that you are at home by yourself When I just heard the voice, heard the voice of someone else Just this question, why do you feel you gotta lie? Gettin' caught up in your game, when you cannot say my name (I know you say that I am assuming things) Something's going down that's the way it seems (Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange) If nobody's holding you back from me ('Cause I know how you usually do) When you say everything to me times two (Why can't you just tell the truth?) If somebody's there then tell me who Say my name, say my name When no one is around you Say baby I love you If you ain't runnin' game Say my name, say my name You actin' kinda shady Ain't callin' me baby Why the sudden change? Say my name, say my name When no one is around you Say baby I love you If you ain't runnin' game Say my name, say my name You actin' kinda shady Ain't callin' me baby Better say my name Hold up, sweetie Slow your roll What are you out of your mind, out of control? Questioning me like I'm a criminal or something Stole your heart or something Like I'm up to something You must be with girlfriends, gossipin' And chicks hate on Kobe cause he ain't with them Feel me now, listen how silly you sound Suspecting a voice in the background Come on now your trust is foul Checking messages now how old are we now? Probably hate me now like Nostradamus I'm just keeping it real wit you honest My silence forgive I was stressing then I was shopping with my ex for lingerie For my newfound love, that would be you No shame in your name, I'll say what I want to (I know you say that I am assuming things) Something's going down that's the way it seems (Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange) If nobody's holding you back from me ('Cause I know how you usually do) When you say everything to me times two (Why can't you just tell the truth?) If somebody's there then tell me who Say my name, say my name When no one is around you Say baby I love you If you ain't runnin' game Say my name, say my name You actin' kinda shady Ain't callin' me baby Why the sudden change? Say my name, say my name When no one is around you Say baby I love you If you ain't runnin' game Say my name, say my name You actin' kinda shady Ain't callin' me baby Better say my name Say my name, say my name When no one is around you Say baby I love you If you ain't runnin' game Say my name, say my name You actin' kinda shady Ain't callin' me baby Why the sudden change? Say my name, say my name When no one is around you Say baby I love you If you ain't runnin' game Say my name, say my name You actin' kinda shady Ain't callin' me baby Better say my name

Are you lonely for me? Sunday night, two weeks past, the last time I saw your face, our separate ways We decided to go, now I find myself Sitting down, thinking about everything To this place, we've come to How you used to be down? Memories of you and could you be thinking 'Bout me right now? Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? You shouldn't try to hide The way you feel inside Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? Just let me make it right And stay with me tonight Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? I won't believe we're through Tell me what you wanna do Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? There's a good in goodbye, that's a lie I wish we could go back when we first met How to forgive and forget? I wish that I could have you right here next to me You're supposed to be in my arms Through stormy weather safe from harm Can we be down? show me how Wish I could hear from you right now Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? You shouldn't try to hide The way you feel inside Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? Just let me make it right And stay with me tonight Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? I won't believe we're through Tell me what you wanna do Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? Lay it on the line, I won't waste your time We can make it work, I know we'll be fine Together we will start, never be apart again Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? You shouldn't try to hide The way you feel inside Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? Just let me make it right And stay with me tonight Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? I won't believe we're through Tell me what you wanna do Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? You shouldn't try to hide The way you feel inside Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? Just let me make it right And stay with me tonight Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me? I won't believe we're through Tell me what you wanna do Are you lonely for me? Are you lonely for me?

Lying alone in my room Don't know what I'm gonna do Trying to figure out if this is it, this time Just can't stop thinking 'bout the way You make me feel inside I just can't get you off my mind No matter how hard I try Could you be the one for me? Could we dance the night away? I wanna give you everything Though I don't have much Could you fall in love with me? Could you love me the rest of my life? Could you forever be the one for me this time? I walk around in a daze The ice is melting from my heart How can I ever know if you feel the same? Are you the sunshine that's begging me To come in from the rain Or have you come into my life To turn around and take your love away? Could you be the one for me? Could we dance the night away? I wanna give you everything Though I don't have much Could you fall in love with me? Could you love me the rest of my life? Could you forever be the one for me this time? When I look into your eyes They tell me that you're mine But I keep asking myself Could you be the one for me? Could we dance the night away? I wanna give you everything Though I don't have much Could you fall in love with me? And could you love me the rest of my life? Could you forever be the one for me this time? Could you forever be the one for me this time?

Thinking back in time Someone said that love was blind But they were wrong You just choose to not see When it's right before your eyes You'd rather compromise than give it all Then it don't turn out the way it's suppose to be Then time and time again you disappoint when she believes Just do your best and give her what she needs And cherish her love Show her she's right where she belongs Take care of her heart Before she's gone Cherish her love It might be hard to conceive You gotta see the forest despite the trees Before it all burns down Not telling you nothing you don't know But she'll let you have your fun But when a woman's done she's done And then she'll go Just when you're needing her the most Time and time again you disappoint when she believes, oh yeah Do all you can to give her what she needs Cherish her love Show her she's right where she belongs Take care of her heart Before she's gone Cherish her love And if you care about the weather Keep her safe and warm Let nothing in between stand in your way They say it's calm inside the eye of the storm Together come whatever, come what may Just cherish her love Show her she's right where she belongs Take care of her heart Before she's gone Cherish her love Show her she's right where she belongs Take care of her heart Before she's gone Cherish her love Show her she's right where she belongs Take care of her heart Before she's gone Cherish her love, cherish her love Cherish her love, cherish her love

This is a story About the way we first met (Ooh, ooh, ooh, woah) It's a cautionary tale for all the real lovers out there So take a listen Said I wa comin' up to see you You said, "Why?" That if I was comin' up to get with you "Save your money, don't waste your time" Girl, you got me so frustrated Don't know what to do You said you're waitin' for the real thing Take it slow, get to know you Bein' the good girl Might be a drag, uh That I can't get with you, yet Makes me sad, uh That this might turn into somethin' Makes me glad Well, baby, you got my number When you wanna be bad So I called you two weeks later You said, "Hi" Actin' like you were happy to hear for me Like you remember that I was alive Said you were comin' back in a few days "Could we go out?" Even though I knew you'd tease me I answered affirmative, there was no doubt Bein' the good girl, uh Might be a drag That this might turn into somethin' Makes me glad That I can't get with you, yet Makes me sad Well, baby, you got my number When you wanna be bad And that's why I'll wait for you But only for you And that's why I'm willin' to jump through every hoop That you put me through Be that good girl (Be that good girl) That I never had (Be that good girl) That this might turn into somethin' (Be that good girl) Makes me glad (Be that good girl) That I can't get with you, yet (Be that good girl) Makes me sad (Be that good girl) But, baby, you got my number (That's right) Baby, you got my number (One more time) Baby, you got my number When you wanna be bad
